We can't be teaching something in the schools because it's true, can we?
History is being revised by the secularists and the PC crowd.
Teaching the story of a living, breathing human being isn't religion, it's history.
Teaching the story of Hitler is not an endorsement of the Nazi Party or ideology.
Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion.

Amazing how the minority is ruling the majority. Everytime some small group complains about something, we change for them. If an event happened, it should be taught in school as history. Almost sounds like some day, these radicals will swear the Constitution never was written, and it will be abolished also.

Years and years ago, they didn't have this problem. I don't see anything wrong with it personally. I also believe they should allow the pledge of allegiance, but since the work "God" is in it, they don't do it. Back when I was in school the 70-80's there was alot less violence, etc. Christmas is because of Christ's day of birth.

This is a big part of history. So although it is considered a Chistian holiday, it should be taught. My kids also learned about Haunaka and Quanza (sorry about spelling) and other religious holidays that we do not celebrate.

Why should Christmas be taught in public schools? I don't need a teacher telling my kids about religion. That's a job for the parents.
We send our kids to school to learn math, science, english, history, etc. Not to be taught faith. That's the church's and parents' job.

No, I disagree.
The school is also a place to learn, so why not learn about all cultures?
Even if Christmas belongs to the Christian faith, students of other faith would benefit to learn, study and understand other cultures.

Education is not about Church and State seperation.
It is about learning and growth.... all subjects are important.

Can you really understand American politics without exposure to Christian faith? Can you understand middle eastern politics without exposure to Islam?
